Re: 2019 Saints NFL Free Agency

I was actually getting off the plane at the same time as Sammy Knight was first arriving...

"What's that smell?" - Sammy Knight

"New Orleans" - Me

"It Smells like this all the time?" - Knight

"Smells are much better around the restaurants, we do that to make you appreciate the food more..." - Me

"Seriously?" - Knight

"No, I don't know what the hell died today (He laughed), but the food is seriously better than anywhere in the country. Welcome to New Orleans." - Me

My cousin who'd met up with me on the last leg of that flight called me later to say he'd sign with the Saints; then, I thought I was in better shape than he was, had no idea how great he was to become...

That experience, his arrival to the NFL and his penchant for turnovers made him one of my All-Time Favorite Saints...

Wait, the OC hasn't met with the new Center, yet?

Knight should have been a perennial ProBowler - He really was. What I realized about football later in life (my late 20s, then) was that you gotta look at the man, not just what is now known as the SPARQ scores...

And it always adds extra juice to the fandom when you get to interact and find a good human being in that short interaction down the Delta concourse as well...

It never said he hadn't "met" the new center. It said he looks forward to "working" with him. Coaches are not allowed to "work" with players until the official OTA's begin, right?

Yes, but on the radio interview it sounded like he hadn't really met him; he did, but I'd thought they'd done a more extended interview with the position coaches...
